Daniel was born and raised in Bucaramanga, Colombia, South America. (1960) He pursued his interest in glass after going to the Universidad Industrial de Santander University –UIS- in Colombia and then he traveled to Venezuela to get apprenticeship in stained glass. Through this encounter he started to discover the beautiful and ethereal nature of glass and it sparked all his creativity.
